I tried to install my sapphire 2600 xt 256 mb while still having my x1600 on, but this stuff doesnt work for me.

- Quartz Extreme 2D is mostly supported with ATI cards (see here how to do it)
- ATI mostly support natively h264 HD decoding
- Netkas wrote the driver :-)
- supports dual heading
- supports pivot
- supports sleep mode (Update 18.03.2008: sleep works with ASUS P5LD2 VM DH aswell. See here how to configure BIOS settings of ASUS P5LD2 VM DH)
Where to obtain
German users are provided with a link to Amazon.de where they can buy exactly the graphics card I used for the following howto. But in contrast to my fellow german users the american users cannot be provided with such a link, because Amazon.com doesn’t offer that card. Search it elsewhere or just order from the german Amazon store using this link: Sapphire RADEON HD 2600 XT PCIe ). This should be most hazzle-free way for you…

Crumplepop echo remover free download garageband. Ok so, after having bought this new graphic card, don’t just install it yet into your tower or desktop. Instead boot your system into OS X while having your old graphics card installed. Follow those steps:
- Login into OS X as root.
- Get the new Netkas Natit Driver (link)
- install it to
/System/Library/Extensions/
- Make sure you set the right permissions to the
Natit.kext
: open terminal and type:chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext
- shutdown your system, unplug electricity and replace your graphics cards
- plug power chord and boot your system.
- you should be done…
Circumventing issues
If anything does not work and your screen looks garbled. I recommend having an XP or Vista installed on another drive and use MediaFour’s MacDrive 7. So you can download the driver again and copy to your OSX partition and install it manually in single user mode (provide -s at OSX boottime).
